Re: Patient Inquiry

"Cure'" is defined differently in each discipline. It can range from the relief of a symptom, through extensive attitude change, to optimal psychological health. For a comparison of about a dozen disciplines, read "Psychoanalytic Versions of the Human Condition: Philosophies of Life and Their Impact on Practice," edited by Paul Marcus and Alan Rosenberg, New York University Press, 1998. An illuminating study would explore and compare patients' feedback from each approach to psychotherapy.
